So true. This totally feels like a Shinobu arc instead. Not that I'm complaining, as Shinobu is one of my favorites.

I was bothered by this too. What's the point of sticking around in the present if they have no chance of fixing things there? There's no more energy at the shrine but Shinobu mentioned last week she can time travel using her own powers if she drinks Araragi's blood, so why not just do that? She did say it's risky but it's not like they have any better options here. They should definitely try.

That goes without saying though. I've no idea how long the novel is, but with only 4 episodes to animate it, a lot of things will have to be put aside.
People who enjoyed this arc can always opt to purchase the novels themselves and read all the missing bits.

Not everyone can read Japanese and the online sites only have half of Kabuki translated. But like some of the others said, certain tidbits really should be animated, minor as they may be.

I mean damn they just about killed everyone. I'm sure someone will pop up at some point and it'd be hilarious if it was Mayoi or something. But right now it's a pretty bleak time. So Shinobu destroyed the world and now everyone is wandering around as zombies.

Well, they really only need to get back to june 14th and do something about Shinobu.

Yes, but Kissshot's "children" would also be among the strongest vampires ever.

Okay it seems like you guys are stuck on why they don't just time travel again.

The thing is that they did try to find another power spot across Japan but they were all blocked just like the shrine in their town. As for why they don't just power up shinobu it's because Araragi respects shinobu's wish to not go back to the way she was.

As a anime only watcher, Been enjoying this arc a lot more then the tsubasa tiger so far, not that the tsubasa tiger is bad, I enjoyed both the arcs for different reasons, I just like the current arc a lot more. Mostly because I dunno what to expect of this arc, I'm still hopping to see a 16 year old hachikuji although unlikely. Based on the content that's been cut from this arc so far about araragi and shinobou's relationship, I'm interested in reading the novels maybe after this seasons anime ends.

hmmm..........i forgot about shinobu running away from home can anyone enlighten me on that

Bakemonogatari episode 13-15
As omimon has said, Shinobu is "released" by Oshino Meme, and by that time she had this thought of killing herself if Araragi failed to search for her or to be precise, if Araragi abandoned her completely. While searching for Shinobu, Araragi asked help from Hachikuji and he also encountered Black Hanekawa on his way finding Shinobu. Shinobu saved Araragi from enraged B. Hanekawa.

Aw, snap. That's why I get for skipping the latter half of Tsubasa Cat. Now that I think about it, I still need to finish Nekomonogatari (Black) too. Not reading Kizu and waiting for the adaptation doesn't help either.

I wonder if costco paid for their spot in this episode? Bizzare... I'm satisfied that they didn't claim Hajikuji or some random phenomenon of the 'universe' caused the world to end after they time travelled. Rather, it was Shinobu and Araragi who did it.

Not having read the books, this doesn't feel rushed. I'm left on the edge of the seat wishing I could marathon watch to find out what happens instead of waiting a whole week.
